TRUNDLING-WHEEL.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 327,577, dated October 6, 1885. Application filed March 19, 1885. Serial No. 159,470. (No model.)

T 0 aZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that 1, JOHN J. MYERS, of Buffalo, in the county ofErie and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements on a Trundling-lVheel; and I do hereby declare that the following descrip tion of my said invention, taken in connection l with the accompanying sheet of drawings, forms a full, clear, and exact specification, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

My present invention has general reference to improvements in trundling-wheels; and it consists, essentially, in the novel combination of parts and details of construction, as here inafter first fully set forth and described, and then pointed out in the claims.

In the drawings already mentioned, which serve to illustrate my said invention more fully, Figure 1 is an elevation of my improved trundling-wheel. Fig. 2 is a plan of the same, the wheel being in section.

Like parts are designated by corresponding letters of reference in both the figures.

A, in these drawings, represents my improved trundling'wheel, consisting of a metallic hoop of suitable diameter, made endless in any desirable and proper manner.

B is the handle'rod, and O the handle, for the wheel. This rod has, near the handle, an eye, a, in or through which the hoop A revolves, said eye being, in fact, the driver for said wheel.

In the forward portion of the handle-rod there is a fork, b, by means of which thehoop is guided, one branch of the said fork terminating in an upright or standard, B, having on its upper end asocalled pin-wheel, D. At its center the haudlerod Bhas two pivots or lateral projections, Z) b, Fig. 2, upon which may revolve pin-wheels D, as shown in Fig. l; or any other device, toy, or figures may be placed thereon, the pinavheel, toy, 820., being retained in position in any suitable manner or by a button, I), as shown in Fig. 1.

In use the wheel is revolved by the handle- I rod B, hold being taken by the handle 0. l The forward movement of the wheel causes 1 the pin-wheels to revolve, and thereby produces a pleasing and entertaining effect.

The whole apparatus is readily produced from wire, and can be manufactured and sold at such a low figure as to make it a very desirable article of manufacture.

Having thus fully described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure to me by Letters Patent of the United States 1. As an improved article of manufacture, a combined trundling-wheel and handle consisting, essentially, of an endless hoop, A, the handled. rod B, embracing the body of the hoop by an eye, a, and the bifurcated portion 1), one branch of which terminates in a standard, B, carrying a toy, D, substantially in the manner as and for the object specified.

2. The combination, with the endless hoop A, of the handled. rod B, having the eyeaand fork b, one end of which terminates in the standard B, carrying toy D, said rod being provided with laterally-projecting pins carrying toys D, substantially in the manner as and for the use and purpose stated.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing invention I have hereto set my hand presence of two subscribing witnesses.

JOHN J. MYERS.
